History:
Dixie Cooney came to Pine Valley in 1988 planning to stay with her uncle Palmer Cortlandt. But her life changed after taking a job working for Adam Chandler. Adam seduced her, resulting in their son Adam Jr, who Adam wanted to adopt and raise with his wife Brooke.
However when Brooke hired P.I and friend Tad Martin to investigate Dixie, Tad was instantly attracted to her and did everything in his power to protect her and her son from Adam, even broke her out of a mental hospital Adam had committed her to.
Dixie and Tad were soon married, even though their promise of "together forever" proved easier said then done.
Dixie had to battle many obstacles throughout her relationship to Tad, including interference from her uncle and brother's schemes, and a fair share of obsessive suitors. There was also many women vying for Tad "The Cads" affections who put a strain on Tad and Dixie's relationship, leading to them remarry three times.
Throughout all of this Dixie made every effort to be a good mother for her boys, her "sunshine" J.R, and her stepson Tad and Brooke's boy Jamie.
While there were rough patches between Dixie and J.R in the times when Tad and Dixie's marriage was on the rocks, they always maintained a close knit bond.
However since her and Tad's first marriage, Dixie's dream had been to have a child with the love of her life. However this proved to be a dificult task because of her one kidney and heart condition, and as predicted by doctors Dixie miscarried her and Tad's first child, a girl to be called Bess,
Dixie became pregnant again in the process of her final divorce from Tad, and was determined to carry the child to term. However, shortly after Tad learned about his unborn daughter Kate, on his flight to meet Dixie in Switzerland he was told she had died in a car crash.
In reality Dixie was brought to a clinic after the accident, where her physician Greg Madden convinced her she was on her deathbed, and that her newborn daughter would be better cared for by an adoptive family rather then a grief stricken ex.
Dixie then made the impossible decision to put Kate up for adoption, but was horrified as she recovered as to what she'd been convinced to do. Not allowing herself to return to her family without the missing part of it, Dixie traveled the world for four years searching for Kate, while her family was under the impression she was dead.
When Madden made a stop in Pine Valley, Dixie returned to her hometown unbeknownst to her loved ones. After befriending Zach Slater, and seeking help from him for a shotgun wound she obtained from her drunken son, Dixie was discovered by an old aquaintance David Hayward and afterwards had an emotional confrontation with Tad.
Wanting to find her son, Dixie revisited the Chandler Mansion only to have a run in with Adam that resulted in his attempt to ship her via crate to Uzbechistan. However Adam's efforts did no good once Josh Madden freed Dixie, and J.R saw his mother very much alive at a casino bar.
Needless to say it was an emotional night for both, especially when Dixie was unable to confide in anyone her reasons for staying away. But, once the truth about Madden knowing Kate's whereabouts came out, everyone was after the mad doctor for answers.
Later on when it was revealed Madden was buried alive, the entire town was suspected but Dixie and Zach were arrested for the crime. Tad then perjured himself in court and got Dixie acquitted, but later confessed he was the one behind Madden's murder.
From that point on Tad and Dixie agreed to put the past aside and find their daughter together. David Hayward, angered at Dixie rejecting him, made it appear he'd discovered a girl called Emma who was actually Kate.
When a DNA test proved otherwise, Tad and Dixie were devastated and both had to encourage one another to hold onto hope they'd be reunited with their daughter. Then when Dixie learned of the opportunity to give Tad another little girl, by revealing the true paternity of Krystal Carey's unborn child, she felt obligated to tell the truth.
However when Tad regained confidence that Kate would be found, around the time a young girl named Kathy Mershon arrived in Pine Valley, Dixie kept quiet about Krystal's secret.
Also at this time, a serial killer came to Pine Valley for the holidays, and while his eyes were on the women of Fusion, mainly Babe Carey, Dixie was the unintended victim of poisoned peanut butter and banana pancakes meant for Babe, and was pronounced dead at PVH in February of 2007.
Luckily, a certain former doctor, who recently embezzled millions from Cambias Industries, with the help of Palmer Cortlandt gained the necessary funds to keep a private clinic overseas open. A clinic where he's been cleaning up Greg Madden's messes and helping salvage the lives the mad doctor destroyed.
One life in particular being the woman he freed from a crate two years ago,who recently awoke from a two year long coma with every intention of reuniting with her son, the love of her life, and most importantly her newfound daughter.
